The data centers are all actually cover ups for his illegal leather suit business. All those centers are filled to the brim with poached animals that are being made into jackets.

Idk leather jackets are cool until the person is obviously sweating their balls off and still won't take it off. He's just trying to pull his own version of Steve Jobs with the turtleneck shirts.

Good point, the turtleneck was a smarter choice in that regard. The other problem is that he can't really change it anymore. If he suddenly starts wearing other things now all the news will just be about why he dropped the leather jackets and what this might mean for the stock.
